Box 963 • Brunswick, GA 31521-0963 Road work to continue on SSI By Matthew J. Permar Austin told the finance commit tee that they originally estimated the roundabout cost at $1.2 million, so it came in a little less than expected. He said when estimating road projects it’s difficult to always know the exact ton nage of asphalt that will be required. But in this case the county came out to the good, with a potential savings of roughly $200,000. Along with the roadway, the project will include drainage work and ero sion and sedimentation control. The project will impact some marshland. Austin said these regula tory issues were getting close to being finalized with the Dept, of Natural Resources. Regarding the time line, Austin said they plan to start during the second or third week of August, after the primary summer beach season is over, and be finished by Georgia / Flor ida weekend on November 2 when a large crowd is expected on St. Simons. Austin said they would know more details on the time line once they have the pre-construction meeting with the contractor. The intersection will be closed dur ing construction, so drivers will detour by way of Arnold Rd. to get from De- mere Rd. to Ocean Blvd. and then by way of Park Way and Wood Ave. once they get to East Beach. Unlike the 2-lane roundabout at Frederica and Demere Rds., this roundabout will be one lane. Austin said the larger 2-lane version would take up more land and impact more With the Frederica and Sea Island Roads repaving and widening projects complete on St. Simons Island, Glynn County Public Works Director Dave Austin has set his sights on three in tersection improvement projects that should complete the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax 2016 road projects for the island. During last week’s County Finance Committee meeting (Tuesday, July 23) Austin submitted a request to contract with Curb and Gutter Profes sionals, Inc., of Jesup for $1,012,740 to construct a roundabout at the inter section of East Beach Causeway and Ocean Blvd. The finance committee approved it and sent it to the Glynn County Commission for final approval, which could be on their agenda this Thurs day night. Jekyll condos Continued from Page 1 stories high and include parking underneath. JIA Executive Director Jones Hooks said he was comfortable with the plan. “It includes wildlife corridors and a lot of the permeable areas we asked for,” he said. “The parking around the Marina is chaotic now,” he continued, “with those who park there to fish, boat or take the Cumberland Island tour. With this new plan we will have orga nized parking.” “The final environmental assessment is still outstanding, the the design approval is contingent upon that,” he said. Hooks commented that no buildings are being placed on the Jekyll Harbor Marina side and that there is no is sue with the wetlands which will be retained. The lease for the project will be presented to the JIA at the August meeting. • In other business the Authority heard a water / wastewater update from Noel Jensen, Chief Operations Officer. Jensen told the board that recent upgrades and additions “made for better redundancy for the water and wastewater systems. Two new generators have been in stalled at the wastewater treatment plant. A 250-kilowatt generator was tested last month and has the capacity to power the wastewater plant in the event of main power failure. The second generator will be used to power the office and laboratory. A new motor control system was also installed. Over the next five to six years all five water towers on the island will be contained, stripped of paint, inspected, repaired as neces sary, and repainted. • Georgia Power will move forward with transmission line improvements between Colonel’s Island and Jekyll marsh. Austin was asked about the other two St. Simons intersection improve ments - Frederica Rd. and King’s Way and East Beach Causeway and De mere Rd. Austin said they are currently aim ing to start the Frederica Rd. / King’s Way project sometime in January af ter the holiday season and the RSM Classic golf tournament. They plan to be done before tourist season. This project will not be a round about due to land issues related to the St. Simons McKinnon Airport and the Federal Aviation Administration. Instead it will be additional lanes, pavement re-striping and traffic light adjustments. The final project, East Beach Causeway / Demere Rd. will likely not get underway until fall of 2020. Island and should begin August 5, Hooks said. The first phase of the proj ect will include vegetation manage ment. The Authority will work with Georgia Power to minimize traffic dis ruptions on the causeway during ma jor events such as the Shrimp & Grits Festival. • Finally The Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) will modify the acceleration and deceleration lanes at the intersection of Highway 17 and the Jekyll Island Causeway. The goal is to improve sightlines and reduce collisions. Work on the safety project should begin in October. Hooks said he did not know the exact nature of the improvements.
